Sounds like you had a great day.
When I need a break from my life, I would sit in the balcony. And listen to the music for hours in the evening. And be lost in the sunset and then in the dark.
I will try to not think about anything at all for hours. Just enjoy the random music.
And when it is night, my mind will be clear and calm. And I would often find solution to most of my problems.
Last year, I spent a few months in another city(Bangalore). Where I lived, there was a road with pink trees(don't know the name) and very few houses/ less traffic.
Something like this, but with less houses, less traffic and a lot more trees.
In the evening, I would walk for an hour or so over there. Sit on the side bench. Be lost in the nature. And that would be my daily dose of break in the beauty of trees.
Now, where I live, there aren't many trees but I can enjoy the sunset almost daily while listening to the audiobooks.
It sounds like you've your detachment-process all worked out. You always seem like a centred sort of chap so I guess it's working.
I like to slow down sometimes; a lot really. I think life is too short to go at full-tilt all the time...I'm a simple man, need simple things, and I find them.
